Split-level garden room creates a great interior space
In a Weybridge garden that rises almost to first-floor height, Timber Rooms used the terraced levels to fit a split-level sitting room and office.
Unusual garden configurations may cause many garden room companies to walk away, but for experienced designers like Timber Rooms, they present an opportunity to create something unique that maximises the space and provides valuable extra living space.
Timber Rooms’ clients in Weybridge have an elevated rear garden that sits just below the first-floor height of the house. It is accessed by a flight of steps that cut through the middle of the area. The left-hand side of the garden was terraced, which at first glance seemed to offer only a small area to build a garden room. However, the Timber Rooms team had the vision and skill to utilise the different levels to create a spacious, stylish space.
Timber Rooms made this video tour of the finished project, which fully showcases the utilisation of the available space. It provides the owners with a sitting room and office that are at the heart of the garden. This design has likely revolutionised how the owners use their garden. The split-level layout gives the interior a unique dimension, allowing for two defined uses that still work together as one cohesive space.

Experienced garden room designers
The Timber Rooms team are experienced professionals. A look at the gallery of completed projects on their website demonstrates this. They construct their garden rooms using traditional insulated timber framing, which forms the core of their multi-layer build-up.
The traditional timber framing techniques used by Timber Rooms allow them to frame their buildings around site challenges like this. With this system, they have greater flexibility than companies that use modular panel building systems.
